Anybody else have to deal with exorbitant fees for deans certifications and letters of class standing? $250?!? Really? I'm all for friendly efforts to retain top students, but the fact that they're trying to bleed me on the way out doesn't qualify as "friendly." It won't keep me from applying, but it will piss me off on the way out if I make the tough decision to leave.

Woah, do these typically cost a lot of money at other schools? I never knew much about them, but I just assumed they were either free or there was maybe a small fee, comparable to a transcript request.

We don't get charged anything at Notre Dame.

In fact, I'm a little creeped out by how happily and easily our registrar fills these things out...

This is something I'd expect from some unacreddited Ave Pizza Southern Community College of Law. But no, this is at a T25 school that until now I felt had a fair/open administration in terms of policies and procedures. I'll be shocked if I can talk them out of it, but I'll sure try. Maybe they'll find the exTTTortion label convincing.
